Scaly fungus ID

[Tiggrx]

Found this one at the edge of a wood growing under beech and ash. Forgot to measure it but I think it was about 6 or 7cm across the cap.
It had an unpleasant bleach-like smell.
I thought maybe a Cortinarius from the webby veil?

Thanks

hi

having been caught out recently - dare I suggest this is Lepiota aspera?

Cortinarius would have a cobwebby veil which wouldn't leave a substantial ring like that; also Cortinarius has rusty spores, and even though the gills may start out pale they would never be pure white like yours

cheers

Hi Chris,

that certainly looks right to me. Thank you!
